All it took was 6 degrees of separation for me to find my forever man. On a beautiful spring day in Hermosa Beach, we found ourselves attending the same beach party on the strand. While I know we would have found our way towards one another, the host played matchmaker and found every instance to have our paths cross. Following discussions of astronomy and learning how to open a beer bottle with no bottle opener - that day, after Shaun walked me back to my car and we exchanged numbers, was the beginning to forever. I saw him almost every weekend since that day (even with an hour of commute each way) and over 8 years later, we are officially tying the knot!
